The 1st Malaysian International Medical Student’s Conference will be the first of its kind held in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. It will be a platform for Medical Students from all around the world converge to present their latest findings in medicine, to learn from each other and to see Malaysia through the naked eye.
The theme of this conference is: Peace, War and Natural Calamities: The doctor in conflict. We shall explore the roles of medical personnel in areas of conflict, whether through natural calamities or in man made calamities. We shall also look at skills needed for a doctor to perform in these tough situations through the hands on workshops in the conference.
